Any deposit money remaining upon completion of the plat review (except post-monumentation subdivisions, see below) shall be refunded within 60 days of plat recording.

Additional deposit money may be required prior to plat approval by the County Surveyor to cover the cost of field checking the interior monuments. These monuments will be set at a later time, after the recording of the plat. Any deposit money remaining upon completion of the field checking of the interior monuments shall be refunded within 60 days of the recording of the post-monumentation affidavit.
